Abstract
Roth and Rosie (1953) discussed the beneficial effect of E.C.T. in a wide range of psychoses complicated by clouding of consciousness, including syndromes of frankly organic origin. The treatment has been used effectively for psychotic symptoms in G.P.I. (Ewald and Haddenbrock, 1942; Bini, 1947; Solomonet al., 1948; Yaskin, 1948; Kalinowsky, 1949; Lopez Ibor, 1950), pellagra and pernicious anaemia (Fernandes and Polonio, 1946). It is perhaps not surprising that a search through the literature has failed to bring to light a case of stupor subsequent to a head injury being treated with E.C.T.Keywords
